Greetings Prayer Warriors,
You know people, and you may be one, who hate math. The dreaded subject in school was to be avoided whenever possible! You may then be surprised to learn that Satan's favorite subject is math, because he loves division! He loves to create political division, racial division, and religious division. His most favorite kind of division is the separation of marital unions. He tries many different formulas until he finds the snare. Is it vanity, pride, or lust? Anger, sloth, or gluttony? Does he direct you to what you want and don’t have and fill you with envy? He never stops perfecting his division as he ponders through which of your senses he should tempt you.
He thinks he’s a prodigy! He tries endless equations to figure out how he can create the most divisions! He really enjoys long division. The longer you’ve been married, the more he savors his success!
Seeing or experiencing a marriage slowly disintegrating is heart-breaking. The pain is real, the hurt is real, and the sense of isolation is real. The desire to point fingers is real too!
Avoid foolish and ignorant debates, for you know that they breed quarrels. A slave of the Lord should not quarrel, but should be gentle with everyone, able to teach, tolerant, correcting opponents with kindness. It may be that God will grant them repentance that leads to knowledge of the truth, and that they may return to their senses out of the devil’s snare, where they are entrapped by him, for his will. 2 Timothy 2:23-26
Lord, there is someone right now, reeling from the pending collapse of their marriage. Lord, we know that you can bind all wounds, heal hurtful memories, change hearts, and allow forgiveness to enter in even when one thinks it is impossible. Jesus, share your loving heart with those who can no longer love. Send your Spirit to raise their hopes, redirect their gaze, and renew their faith. Finally, send your Mother to crush the head of Satan, to remind him that what you have joined, no one is to separate. Your promises are true. Hear our prayers and use them as the mortar that seals the cracks. Amen.
And I will give them another heart and a new spirit I will put within them. From their bodies I will remove the hearts of stone, and give them hearts of flesh. Ezekiel 11:19
No one truly ever walks alone, as long as we envelop them in prayer. May our collective petitions to God be a source of real comfort.
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Bring hope to another. Pass it on!
